PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD STILL OPEN FOR PROPOSED DESIRED FUTURE CONDITIONS

Since 2010, Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) have been required to adopt Desired Future Conditions (DFCs) for relevant aquifers every five years. Groundwater Management Area #1 adopted the proposed DFCs at the February 24, 2026, meeting in Amarillo, Texas. Texas law requires a public comment period of at least 90 days for proposed DFCs, and the member districts must conduct a public hearing during that time. The public hearing was held on April 14, 2026 at the North Plains Water Conservation Center.  Comments relating to the proposed DFCs may be submitted by email, mailed to the District at PO Box 795, Dumas, TX 79029 or delivered to the district office at 603 East 1^st Street, Dumas, TX. The proposed DFCs adopted for GMA #1 and the draft explanatory report are now available for review and comment.  You can find a copy of the proposed desired future conditions explanatory report here and the GMA 1 Resolution to Adopt DFCs here.   The public comment period will end on May 14, 2026.  For more information, please contact Janet Guthrie at 806-935-6401 Ext 207 or visit the Groundwater Management Area 1 website here.
